Web Design Inspiration Curated
teamtreehouse.com
Beautifully done relaunch of Carsonified's treehouse (was membership.thinkvitamin.com). The design is really clean and clear and doesn't get in the way for users, but has plenty of depth with the icons/badges that should give you plenty of eye candy to look at. (Hint:...
epiclabs.com
Epiclabs.com is a nice little site that has great art. The transitions between pages are really fun and give the site an energy it would have lacked without a little motion. Its amazing how just a little animation makes a site feel that much more interactive. Plus,...
myjive.com
The newly relaunched website for Myjive , a website & other interactive product design company, is just stellar. There are some neat pieces to the design like the fixed header to the background imagery used on each section/page. I love that it's responsive adaptive...
custora.com
Custora.com has a beautiful color palette. The soft browns and creams are very different from many of the sites that we review. Most designers these days seem to favor achromatics or bright, highly saturated palettes. custora.com's colors are rich and sophisticated...
contentsmagazine.net
via @wyattdanger "Great web design, an excellent example of mobile first: @contents contentsmagazine.net" Contentsmagazine.net is a great example of design that is loosely structured but still successful. The design is very whitespace heavy and content rich, with very...
neighborhood-studio.com
via @MattStevensCLT "Today, playing the role of guy that makes me feel inadequate, Mr. @Curtis_Jinkins & his new site http://www.neighborhood-studio.com/ sweet stuff, dude." Neighborhood-studio.com is blank slate design. Every element is crisp and tight and...
strangenative.com
Minimal, beautiful and functional - well done. I love the simplicity that I find in the Strange Native blog for Russ Maschmeyer. Also beautifully responsive and backed up by good articles and ideas. I especially like the blast of color in the footer. Enjoy!
bhdp.com
bhdp.com is a nice site that emphasizes strong grid based design and typography. I like how everything is simple but fitting. The site holds a wealth of information about their work, strategy and insights, which is great. All too often this kind of sites can seem void...
jacadi.com
jacadi.com is a really elegant site. Its fluid (to a point) and utilizes beautiful images (and HUGE! I mean it, the large images are all just under 200k and some pages load 5 or six of them. Wowza...) as to the main backdrop for its sales message. I really like to...
deafpigeon.co.uk
deafpigeon.co.uk is a really nice blog about fixed gear bikes and related bike stuff. Its a great combination of photography and understated design. I like the site's 'back to basics' approach to organizing and presenting content. Everything is clearly labeled and...
millenniumpromise.org
I like the open feel to this design. The oversized feeling main photo slideshow is nice and the way there is space between that and the header navigation for two calls-to-action is clever. The layout feels almost centered being anchored with the three column section...
womens.timberland.com
This website has a picturesque magazine feel that takes full advantage of the browser window. This "wide open" layout is really appropriate for the content and imagery; the winter landscapes and product portraits look great. Many of the interactions are animated and...
benmarkowitz.com
benmarkowitz.com is definitely nice to look at though its a little contrasty even on a clear monitor. Its a great variation on a primary triad color scheme and responsive to boot! But this site is an undeniably great example of what can be done with a little jQuery...
inmotionmassage.co.uk
Clever visual(s) with the hand and target illustrations set fixed to the left sidebar area. The icons over the navigation items are nice too. I like the trim design here it's easy and quick to take in.
bigbitecreative.com
Nice balance between minimalism and dense design. There's a nice amount of whitespace with pockets of packed-in information. Like the subpages where there are the red circular icons for the different sections. Nice basic grid layout under the whole thing makes for a...
bigdaddyweave.com
Nice use of texture across the design elements of this website. I like the colors (even the dark background). I like the clear definition between the top portion, with the slideshow, and then the bottom section that's more blog like.
englishworkshop.eu
englishworkshop.eu is a sweet and simple design by Simple as Milk for the English Workshop. Its a site that paints in broad strokes, the text is big and the content areas as are the color separations. I wonder about hiding the bulk of the content behind artwork (the...
lekcjezywejhistorii.pl
Really unique looking illustrations on this website. I really like the almost chalk drawing art mixed with the tighter more computer derived looking elements. The artwork in the footer is just beautiful.
backyard.com
I don't know much about producing commercials, but I'd imagine that editing is one of the most important aspects. When filming, you most likely end up with way more footage than you keep so things need to be trimmed down, positioned correctly, and polished off. I feel...
uchitomi.ch
uchitomi.ch is out of control... in a good way. The art is bright and loud and pairs well with the product. Its awesomely Japanese. I think this site is great fun and doesn't sacrifice solid structure for novelty.
